“Faith lifts the soul, Hope supports it, Experience says it must and Love says...let it be!.”
“Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith.”
“I didn't say hope. I said faith. There's a difference... Hope is wishing for something. Faith is believing in something.”
“Faith, hope, love, and insight are the highest achievements of human effort. They are found-given-by experience.”
“It is not the pain that is pleasing to God, child. It is the soul's endurance in faith and hope and love in spite of bodily afflictions that pleases Heaven.”
“I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.”
